shows no files for me on macOS. But I was replacing the .filebot dir with a tarball I took when I had a small history, but that apparently got me banned unexpectedly (in fact, I am hoping this message allows me to PM - I am still trying to figure out how to ask for my license back). It's possible I removed the history by accident before making the tarball.

sorry to revive this old thread but I am investigating a rename problem:
and I believe this is due to the rename history as I have renamed the first 4 files some months ago
(when the thetvdb entry was not yet present)
and I can't find my history.xml to delete. Win10 Store version

the snippet tells me where the file is supposed to be but it's not there
# filebot -script "g:println net.filebot.HistorySpooler.instance.persistentHistoryFile"
C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\FileBot\history.xml

Can you point out why this is incorrect? Looks perfectly reasonable to me.

EDIT:

I see. It's the 2013 vs 2018 thing. If files are already xattr tagged, then you might need to clear xattr first, because xattr to affect matching.

If you use the History to revert files to their original names, then xattr will be cleared as well for these files.
